Chapter 199: Suspicions

Ouyang took a closer look and took a breath of cold air: "This is the clothes of the forbidden army, or the Tokyo forbidden army." "There is gold thread on the hem of the Tokyo Forbidden Army. No, it can't be that coincidental. The only thing that distinguishes the clothing of the forbidden army in Tokyo from other roads is this hem. A murderer wore forbidden army clothes, even if they were worn inside, and accidentally happened to hook this part. Is it deliberately planted? Or does God have eyes? As a police officer, Ouyang would not believe that God had eyes. In addition to coincidence, there are two situations, one is to frame the Tokyo Forbidden Army, so that people know that Ouyang and the Tokyo Forbidden Army have colluded, this crime can be big or small, if Zhao Yu is suspicious, it will be very inappropriate for this case. Second, if you follow this line, you will jump into another trap. A trap that made Ouyang clear his charges.

If it's the second, it's very deadly. Because the forbidden army does not distribute many clothes every year, if you check it, it is easy to find the owner of the clothes and jump into the other people's steps. But if you don't check it, it's unwilling. This article completely captures the weakness of the human arrangement.

Also, is Wan Yanlan credible? This is not a series of traps, step by step to lead yourself into a dead end. Ouyang believes that someone must have arranged this bureau for a long time. It's just that the emperor's coming to Yangping was only a matter of ten days, didn't they arrange it like this before, but they knew that the emperor was coming and changed their plans? The emperor came in person, except for the first and second ministers and Ouchi personnel, the rest of the people would only know the news for about three days. Knowing the news, two days from Tokyo to Yangping, it is definitely not enough time to arrange. Someone must have found out that the emperor was coming.

People float in the rivers and lakes, and enemies naturally have them. There must also be potential political opponents. However, as far as Ouyang knows, although some of them are dissatisfied with their behavior, they may not use such an extreme way. At most, it is just to use things that seem to exist to attract the emperor's suspicions. It is relatively rare to use prison sentences to frame officials. After analyzing it in this way, the possibility of Jin Ren is great again. Ouyang glanced at Wan Yanlan, who was calmly looking at the cold moon outside the window, and then slowly looked at the layout in the cabin. Suddenly taking a breath of cold air, this layout looks like a sensational case in the Special Administrative Region.

A husband and wife were originally happy, but the husband was out and died in a car accident. Since the husband was 100% at fault, the court ruled that the perpetrator had made some damages. Originally, no one would pay attention to the case, but half a year later, a bizarre thing happened, the perpetrator had a one-night stand with a girl, and a year later he was diagnosed with AIDS. But without knowing it, let his wife, and the children born later, and *** all be infected with HIV. As a result of the chain infection, the Crime Unit intervened in the investigation, which later established that the perpetrator and the wife of the deceased in the car accident had a one-night stand, and then investigated the suspect. But the suspect has been missing for a year.

Finally, a search warrant was obtained and the room where the couple lived was opened. The furniture had been emptied, the room was covered with coins, and strips of white cloth hung around the room. The police entered the bedroom and saw her husband's urn on one side of a table with a bottle of wine and two glasses, as well as an almost weathered rose. On the opposite side of the urn was the body of his wife.

After investigation, the wife took blood from the virus-infected drug addict and injected it into her body after the court verdict. Then, after meeting the perpetrator ***, in order to avoid the chance that the other party would not be infected with the virus, the wife used sleeping pills to make the perpetrator fall asleep, and then drew her own blood and injected it into his body.

The police later believed that the wife had investigated the details of the disease, was sober and calm, and understood that the *** behavior was only 1% likely to be contagious, and there was no evidence that the wife suffered from depression and other mental illnesses. What is even more surprising is that the wife donated all her property to charity, leaving the victim without any financial compensation.

Ouyang and his colleagues have also analyzed the case, and they have never understood why his wife has such an aggressive behavior. In Ouyang's opinion, it is enough to kill the perpetrator during a one-night stand, so why should he harm his family?

Could it be that Yan Lan's spirit has reached a situation that she can't understand? Wan Yanlan has always believed that killing her brother and allowing the Jurchens to have such a situation was completely caused by Ouyang. If...... Ouyang was shocked, but he seemed to have to hand over the evidence.

Zhan Ming and other officials who were close to him had already been sent to prison, and if they handed over the evidence, they would be able to get rid of some of the suspicions. If the opponent is vicious and arranges a lot of evidence unfavorable to him in the forbidden army, he will jump into the fire pit. Shun the hem of the clothes to find the murderer, the murderer pointed to identify Ouyang, and provided some documents or tokens that were not forged. Or the murderer commits suicide and leaves a suicide note to testify against Ouyang, which is completely at Ouyang's fingertips, then the situation will be much more difficult. But if they don't hand over their clothes, Zhan Ming and the others will not be able to get out of prison.

What a vicious serial scheme! Ouyang glanced at Yan Lan and knew that he could no longer trust this person. The environment is complicated, and it is difficult to say who is friend or foe.

The boat docked, and Ouyang went ashore. Zhang San and Li Si had been following on land, and they were relieved to see that Ouyang was fine. Ouyang didn't say, and they didn't ask. When he arrived in Luzhou the next evening, Ouyang had no sleep last night and was not in good spirits. After finding an inn, Ouyang wrote a letter to find the big shopkeeper of the local Yangping Money Village, and when Zhizhou heard that Ouyang wanted to help, he was also generous, and sent three hundred soldiers to escort the letter to Hangzhou.

Ouyang is definitely not a good person, and the letter is for Zhou An. Tell Zhou An that once he is guilty, he will stop buying and selling any supplies to Jin. Although he lost his right to ask for guilt, Ouyang believed that Zhou An would still help with this matter. No one thought that Ouyang, a seemingly weak scholar, also had a ruined side.

Due to the importance of this case, Zhao Yu never left, and an official document from the Military Aircraft Department was also transmitted to Yangping. Willing to take responsibility for his crimes, he continued to manage the affairs of Yangping. Because Zhanming has an official position, although he is in prison, he is under house arrest. Ou Ping has no identity, he is really in prison.

Bai Lian greeted Ouyang twenty miles from Yangping, and the first sentence was bad news: "The complainant is dead." ”

I didn't think that Ouyang was very calm, and asked, "Suicide, or killing?" ”

"The Titan said it might be suicide."

"Possibly?" Ouyang was a little surprised. Song's sentencing level is still relatively high, how can there be a mock answer. Ouyang Dao: "White Lotus is talking!" ”

Ouyang returned to Yangping and dismounted, and the surrounding people came up to say hello, obviously Yangping people also felt that Ouyang was framed. In the eyes of Yangping people, Ouyang's pursuit of women is not very high. Several handmaidens testified in court about Ouyang's conduct. Of course, there are a few people who are skeptical. There are rich and powerful people who can play with each other, and some righteous and awe-inspiring princes and even emperors have left behind in history to force their daughters to sleep with them. Why can't Ouyang do these things?

Because of Zhao Yu's support, Ouyang was not directly questioned. However, Zhao Yu didn't see Ouyang either, and issued a holy decree, letting Ouyang take charge of the case by himself, supervise the three divisions, and send the ninth prince and two internal guards to his entourage. From this point of view, Zhao Yu still trusts Ouyang. In fact, as far as playing with women and dying, Zhao Yuzhen doesn't mind. According to some records, the so-called talented Ji Xiaolan has a very dirty side in ***, and he has countless wives and concubines, almost all of whom are thirteen years old. If you change to a year old, you will only be eleven years old. But no one pursued it.

Ouyang is confident that he is relatively clean in this regard, although Qinglou also goes, but in terms of using the fifth sister or spending money to solve physiological problems, as a knowledgeable person, of course chooses the latter.

Gyeonggi's surname was Song, and Ouyang wondered for a while if he was the ancestor of Song Ci. Because its attitude is very fair and rigorous. The county government bill, with the participation of many people. Song Tixing spoke first: "According to the investigation of this official. The first deceased, Zhang Jin'er, may not be what Zhang said. Zhang said that Zhang Jin'er was pampered since he was a child, and his family only fell after his father opened a gamble. The official inspected and found that although Zhang Jin'er was well maintained, his limbs were soft and powerful, and he seemed to be a trained courtesan. But the corpse had been soaked in water for a long time, and the official did not dare to make an assertion. ”

The head arrester next to the sentence said: "Check, Zhang Jin'er does have this person, Zhang does have this person, and his husband was indeed killed for gambling." Some relatives have already seen Zhang's body and can be sure that it is him. But Zhang Jin'er's face was disfigured and his body was swollen, and no one could be sure whether he was Zhang Jin'er or not. ”

The sentence was raised again: "The second deceased, Yan Qi." According to the investigation, it was stabbed into the chest at close range without knowing it, and then Yan Qi was slashed twice by the murderer before he came back to his senses. ”

"The third deceased, Zhang. but he was bitten to death by a viper. In the throat position. As we all know, snakes have no waist and generally bite their hands and feet. Therefore, the official deduced that there were three possibilities, and that the snake was trained to kill. The second is the snake coiled on the beam, hanging upside down and biting on its throat. The third may be more bizarre, Zhang grabbed the snake to his throat. ”

Ouyang asked, "Why is there a third possibility?" ”

"Because there is a snake scale on Zhang's hand. It is believed that Zhang Shi held the snake hard, but he was not sure whether he was catching the snake and biting the throat, or catching the snake after being bitten. The punishment said: "The official is biased towards the former, because he suddenly encountered a snake, let alone a woman, even if it is a young and strong man, he is scared first." After being bitten by a snake, there are few people who directly hit the snake with their hands. ”

The sentence was raised: "Although the evidence on the face shows that it is possible that someone has framed Lord Ou, if Lord Ou does not understand this contract, it will be difficult for this case to continue." ”

Ouyang took the contract and looked at it, it was sure that it was his signature, Ouyang said: "Ladies and gentlemen, wait a while, go down to do something, and your majesty will meet in an hour." ”

Ouyang went out for a trip and came back into the study room of the new yamen, and the ninth prince and the two internal guards followed in ghostly. Ouyang Xi wrote in an uproar, and then said, "Father-in-law, let's face the saint." ”

The ninth prince smiled bitterly: "You even dare to play with the emperor." ”

"As long as you can prove your innocence, the emperor is wise, and he won't care."

Ouyang stood respectfully at the foot of the hall and said: "Your Majesty, whether Weichen has been wronged or not, please read it on the face of Weichen's slight merit, and Weichen asks Your Majesty to be a guarantor." ”

Zhao Yu said: "Just say." ”

"Wechen's uncle and aunt have the grace of nurturing, and they have a sister living by their side, and Zhanming and others have followed Wechen for many years. Wechen wants to leave them some way back now. ”

"Just the last words?" Zhao Yu shook his head: "Ouyang, am I wrong about you?" That's it, you say, I'm in charge. ”

"There is no evidence, please sign it for your majesty."

"Huh?" Zhao Yu looked at the side of the Ninth Gonggong's strange face and said with some doubts: "Submit it." ”

In total, there were four suicide notes. The first is to take a sum of money to support the elderly of his uncle and aunt and repair the ancestral hall of the Ou family. The second is to leave a sum of money for Ou Ping, hoping that he will marry a wife and have children. The third share is Zhanming, Bailian and Gan Xin to share the shares of Yangping Chamber of Commerce. The fourth is for Wang Baofu. After a casual look, there was no problem, so Zhao Yu took the private seal and stamped it on it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ouyang took back the four contracts, took out a brush and brushed it a few times, pulled out one of them and said, "Your Majesty, look at it again." ”

What the? Zhao Yu took the contract handed over by the internal guard and read it for a while, only to see that it was written, I am beautiful, I am gentle, and I am cute. The payment is your own private seal. Zhao Yu felt that his face was a little hot and asked, "What's the matter?" "Drop the paper.

"Your Majesty, please see, this paper is not a high-quality paper, and there are crumbs on it." After Ouyang tore off a layer of paper, Zhao Yu saw a blank piece of paper. Ouyang explained: "This is a very simple trick, the paper has two layers, and the signature and seal are mostly in the lower left position. And after tearing, the signature position is actually on the second layer of paper. This is a temporary prop made by Weichen, and if it is carefully made, even if there is less debris, it can be mixed. ”

"Bring it." Zhao Yu took the contract, indeed, if you look carefully, you can see that the signature paper and the contract paper are two, but the handover has been covered with a brush, although some words are left on the signature paper, but if you tear it and write it again, you can piece the remaining words together. In this way, it became a blank paper privately printed by Zhao Yugai. When torn apart, the signature paper was slightly uneven and mutilated. Zhao Yu suddenly said: "No wonder the corners of Zhang Jin'er's deed of sale are a little broken." ”

Ouyang said: "The most important point is to cover the handover edge with the last line of words, and then you can complete the remaining half of the words, neatly and naturally." Although there are some flaws in the splicing, it can be said that this person's workmanship is very fine. Fill in the back, and be very sure of the format and font size. This person should be a famous person. Wechen suspects that this person's means of making a living is to make a living from fakes, and he is particularly proficient in words. ”

"Good! Well done. "Zhao Yulong was very happy, I heard that Ouyang would handle the case a long time ago, but he never saw it with his own eyes, and this time it was an eye-opener. How did she know that this hand Ouyang had used in modern undercover agents, and he made millions of profits by fraud. Zhao Yu instructed: "It's okay left and right, then the palace will be judged." ”

Ouyang said: "Regarding Zhang Jin'er's body being burned with sandalwood, Weichen expressed doubts. ”

Song Tixing asked, "I don't know what the question is." ”

"This prefecture is an incense franchise. There are only two shops that sell sandalwood in Yangping. But Xia Guan has never bought it, and you can find the guys in the two stores and the shopkeeper to testify to this. If it is done by the lower officials, then the lower officials can only buy it from other places, does the lower officials have to make a special trip to the other places to buy incense for the sake of *** a maid? ”

"Reasonable." Song Tixing said to Zhao Yu: "The minister has investigated. Lord Ou does not believe in Buddhism, and there are no relatives at home who want incense to worship. Don't say sandalwood, even fine incense has never been bought in Yangping. Of course, this doesn't mean that the Ouyang family doesn't have tools.

"One more point." Ouyang Dao: "Actually, many people outside misunderstood, saying that the official family is a pond, since it is a pond, there will always be fish and lotus flowers." But the bottom of the pond in Xiaguan is all bluestone, and the four walls are also made of stone, and the project was completed in one or two years after Weichen came to Yangping. But the strange thing about Xia Guan is that if the corpse only has fine sand or moss, it is still possible, but how can there be silt? Xia Guan thought that Zhang Jin'er's body might be soaked elsewhere and find an opportunity to move in. ”

Song Ti said: "This is indeed not confirmed. But perennial ......"

"Lord Tiren, this water is changed every three days. Ouping and I are both people who like to play in the water. Even in winter, go into the water to play. Yangping is close to the mountain in the north, and this water is brought from the mountain to the well, and the water is connected to the pool when the water is changed. The drainage channel is connected to the iron pipe out of the ditch, and the garbage thrown in the ditch along the road is flushed to the Qinghe. Although the pool is not cleaned every time the water is changed, if there is a little fine sand, it will be cleaned and will not be deposited as silt. Zhang Jin'er had mud on her mouth and nose, which was obviously caused by layering into the silt water, and the mud was poured into her ears, mouth and nose. ”

Song Ti said: "Come on, go and inspect the pool." ”

Headcatcher clenched his fist: "Yes!" In fact, just a dozen steps away, several forbidden soldiers and officials took off their clothes and jumped into the pond, and after a while, they reported back: "Return, the four sides are indeed clean, the bottom of the water is very slippery, and there is only a little mud in the place where the corpse is sunk." ”

Zhao Yu smiled: "I can't see that you Ouyang is quite good at enjoying it." "The biggest thing in the palace is to take a bath and poke it, which can't be compared with Ouyang's magnanimity.

Cai Jing, who had not spoken about the case, suddenly said: "Although the minister is not clear, but with these two questions, it seems that Lord Ou is not without the possibility of killing Zhang Jin'er." This case is already known to the whole world, and if it is not completed, not only will Lord Ou's reputation be affected, but even His Majesty's reputation will be damaged. ”

What Cai Jing said makes sense, all Ouyang can provide is easy to overturn, and there are countless possible prima facie evidence. Although Ouyang can explain why he signed the contract by himself, he can't prove whether Zhang Jin'er's contract has been passive. Ouyang can prove that the swimming pool is not the first scene of the corpse, but he can't explain that it was not himself or that he ordered others to set up suspicions. As for Ouyang's habit of not lighting incense, it is even more outrageous. If it is a modern unified understanding that there is no verdict for suspected crimes, Ouyang must be innocent. But looking at modern times, I also know that the limelight Li Gang denied that he was never guilty, ignored several ironclad evidence, and sent the dynasty to the trial, and the judge inexplicably sentenced him to more than ten years in prison. This is the consequence of a bureaucrat's self-esteem that he is smarter than everyone else in the world under the influence of consistent feudal thinking.

This is true in modern times, let alone in ancient times. Fortunately, Zhao Yu, the boss of the feudal court, trusted Ouyang, of course, even if she didn't trust her, she hoped that Ouyang was fine. Zhao Yu thought for a long time and said, "Ouyang, give you five days, you can mobilize the Yangping Forbidden Army and internal guards to help handle the case." The Gyeonggi Criminal Division should also be attentive. But if there is no way to prove your Ouyang's innocence after five days. I can only let the third division take over the triage. ”

Ouyang Dao: "Please also ask Your Majesty to release Zhan Ming first." ”

"Good!"
